overload.
These batteries can be charged at any time without causing “memory affect” or
damage to the battery. However, less than 9 hours continuous charging is suggested
for safety.
The Commanders XM-L LED is extremely powerful and can generate heat when used for
prolonged periods on FULL power. We recommend that for general use, the Commander is
used on MEDIUM power, switching to HIGH power for short periods [5–10minutes] when
required.
The ON/OFF switch is located in the tail of the flashlight;
Press the ON/OFF switch and the flashlight will turn ON (100%)
Press the switch halfway in order to operate the 6 different modes;
o
HIGH, MEDIUM, LOW, FLASHING, STROBE and SOS.
NOTE: In any mode, press the ON/OFF switch fully to switch the flashlight OFF.
Use a small brush or blow dry air to clean any dust inside the reflector.
Use lens cleaner and cotton swab, to remove any fingerprints on the lens.
To prevent the O-ring from drying to ensure for threads operating smoothly, please
apply petroleum jelly to these surfaces two or three times a year.
The non-anodised metal groove between the tail cap and the barrel must be cleaned
periodically to ensure a good electrical contact.
The O-ring prevents water from getting into the flashlight.
Do not use the flashlight for diving; it is not suitable for the high pressure underwater
environment.
If water gets inside the flashlight, remove the battery immediately and place in a well
ventilated area.
